How this deck reads it

The knight's hand raising a gold coin and the furrows running straight beneath the hooves form the central axis of this image. The round sheen of the nacre-inlaid coin shows a single fruit just risen at the fingertips, while the black horse's heavy body shows the endurance that lets that fruit last. Rather than continuing to the point where the furrows vanish, the sky is held down by low clouds and trees, so that the gaze of this scene rests on the single line at the feet rather than on the distance. The way the dancheong pigments lower and hold their saturation between the armor and the earth tones places weight on the diligence of treading the same spot each day rather than on splendid achievement.
